What Is It

What Is a Golf Ball Drop from a Helicopter?

A helicopter golf ball drop is one of the most popular and visually spectacular fundraiser formats in the country. The concept is simple — participants purchase numbered tickets tied to golf balls, and a helicopter releases all the balls over a target area on a golf course or open field. The ball that lands closest to the designated hole or marker wins the top prize.

No golf skills. No equipment. No experience needed. Just buy a ticket, watch the helicopter fly over, and see where your ball lands. It's exciting, accessible, and a proven crowd-pleaser that raises serious money for great causes.

How the Winner Is Determined

  • Closest ball to the target wins — after the drop, organizers measure the distance from each ball to the designated hole or marker. The shortest distance takes the top prize.
  • Secondary prizes can be awarded for the 2nd, 3rd, or even last-place ball depending on how the event organizer structures the prize tiers.
  • Balls are numbered and colored for easy identification on the ground, making post-drop measurement straightforward and transparent for participants.
